Semester and Summer Study Abroad Application Process

A.  Study Abroad Inquiry

Marywood students will initially complete an online "profile" account with the International Affairs Office at www.marywood.edu/studyabroad.  This online account enables students to start exploring study abroad options and communicate with a Study Abroad Advisor.

B.  Application for Approval

After you have decided which program you want to apply to, you will login to your online account, find the program on the clickable map, and click the APPLY link for that specific program.

You will then need to complete the "Application Form." 

Your Application, which includes a Disciplinary Clearance and a review of your Academic Transcript, will be reviewed by the International Affairs Office for approval to study abroad. When listed as a requirement, you should request an official copy of your most recent transcript to be sent to the International Affairs Office.  The Associate Director will then send you an electronic copy of the same, which you will upload to your account under "Transcript."


C.  Enrollment Process

If you meet the eligibility requirements to study abroad and have chosen a relevant program for your academic needs, you will be notified by email that your Application status has changed to "Approved by Marywood".  At this time you should begin the application to the specific program that you have chosen. Carefully follow all of the steps that the provider has listed, submitting whatever forms and paperwork that they request. 

On the Marywood side, you should login to your online account and complete the "Enrollment Forms" listed for your program. If you haven’t already, you must make an appointment now to meet with the Associate Director for International Affairs to discuss your plans.
